6 Days.......

Well, can you believe it! It is officially 6 days till Christmas! It seems to just be flying by. I thought I would be lonely this Christmas, but I totally thought wrong! I have realized there is a difference between being lonely and missing family, which I do the latter!! I have just finished one of the two busy weekends I have this year and have already done many things! All last week we have been practicing our Christmas play with the kids it should turn out good, or at least fun! I have set up the Christmas stuff at our Church, had Hello kids where I volunteer teaching English, but this time we made Christmas Cards. On the 2nd I helped put up the tree at Atsuko and Hiroyuki's house it was fun, then on the 9th we made a gingerbread house that nan sent me (Thank you so much nan it was so much fun!!). Then on the 15th we had a ladies Christmas tea which I did a Christmas speech for, which they say it was good but I beg to differ. Then on the 16th we had church and after went to a Christmas party at a snow hill. Every year they light up a christmas tree on the ski hill. The group from our Church sang songs and did a Christmas Candle light service! The guy who is in charge of the Snow hill is the guy who took me veggie hunting with his wife and they have done so much for me! It was a really fun night! Yesterday, I cleaned my apartment because I had been so busy my poor apartment was getting neglected, after sending packages home and putting gifts together for here my apartment had paper, bags, tape, boxes, pens, and much more everywhere. To say a hurricane hit would be putting it mildly. Now I am into my work week and getting ready for everything that starts again next friday. I will keep you posted as I do things! Here are some pictures from my past weeks......
